Recipe: Chicken and White Bean Soup

by DIYWorkouts on March 5, 2010

Chicken and White Bean SoupHere’s a classic Tuscan comfort food that’s full of protein, fiber, and flavor, but low in fat. It’s the perfect food to warm you up on a cold winter night.

  • 4 cups roasted chicken meat, skinless, shredded
  • 1 can cannellini (white kidney) beans, rinsed
  • 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 leeks, cut into 1/4-inch rounds (white and light green parts only)
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh sage, chopped (or 1/4 tsp. dried)
  • 3 cups chicken broth, low-sodium
  • 2 cups water

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in sage and continue cooking until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth and water, increase to high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Add beans and chicken and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve hot. Makes 8 servings.
